The diamond crystals infuse into the upper layers of the seed and with each other to give the MiaDonna simulated diamond hybrid an outer layer that is an infusion of man made diamond crystals. This is not a film or a polished diamond coating. Our outer layer of lab created diamond will never wear off or detach from the seed.

The MiaDonna simulated diamond hybrid is the world's diamond equivalent to the cultured pearl. Our simulated diamond is composed of a non-precious core stone that we call the seed. Using diamond infusion we apply a layer of man made diamond crystals to the outer layer of the seed. | Properties | MiaDonna Diamond | CZ | Summary |
